Every child deserves a chance to thrive!
America’s strength starts with kids- at home and around the world. When we invest in kids, we invest in the strength, security, and success of our nation—because the foundation of a thriving America is built with health, education, and the well-being of every child. Through bold grassroots action, powerful storytelling, and direct engagement with candidates and lawmakers, Save the Children Action Network is transforming how policy gets made to ensure every child gets the strong start they deserve.
- Investing in early childhood is investing in our future workforce. When children have access to high-quality early learning, they are more likely to succeed in school and contribute meaningfully to the economy. Every dollar spent on early education yields returns through higher earnings, better health, and reduced social costs.
- No child should go hungry in the land of plenty. Ensuring kids have nutritious food isn’t charity—it’s smart policy. Children who are well-fed are healthier, do better in school, and are better equipped to break the cycle of poverty. SNAP and other nutrition programs are essential infrastructure for a strong America.
- Strong families build strong communities. Supporting parents through child care subsidies and nutrition assistance strengthens economic stability, boosts local economies, and fosters thriving communities. Investing in kids uplifts entire families and lays the foundation for a stronger, more resilient nation.
- No child should be left behind—no matter where they live. Investing in foreign assistance supports global stability, protects U.S. interests, and reflects America’s values on the world stage. Investing in Child Care is Investing in America.
Investing in Childcare is investing in america
Childcare is the backbone of our economy
When families have access to affordable, quality child care, parents can work, businesses thrive, and communities grow stronger. Investing in child care fuels economic stability today and workforce development for tomorrow.
Every child deserves a stong start and our nation depends on it
Early childhood experiences shape lifelong learning and success. By investing in child care, we’re not only supporting children’s growth—we’re building the foundation for a smarter, healthier, and more resilient America.
Child hunger holds america back
When we invest in child care, we’re investing in the people who power our country—parents, providers, and future leaders. It’s a commitment to equity, opportunity, and shared prosperity for all.
Investing in CHILD HUNGER IS INVESTING IN AMERICA
A Nation that feeds its children secures its future
When we ensure every child has access to nutritious food, we’re investing in better health, stronger learning outcomes, and a generation equipped to thrive. Ending hunger is not charity—it’s smart national policy.
Child hunger holds america back
Millions of kids are going to school hungry, making it harder to learn, grow, and succeed. By investing in programs like SNAP and school meals, we unlock every child’s potential and drive our country forward.
Feeding kids is a foundation for equality and opportunity
No child should be at a disadvantage simply because of their zip code or family’s income. Fighting hunger is a commitment to fairness, a stronger workforce, and a more united America.
INVESTING IN FOREIGN ASSISTANCE IS INVESTING IN AMERICA
Global compassion strengthens national resilience
U.S. foreign assistance supports health, education, and nutrition for vulnerable communities worldwide. These investments reduce the drivers of conflict and violence, strengthen global partnerships, and protect America’s long-term security.
American leadership means leaving no child behind—anywhere
Helping children and families abroad is not just the right thing to do—it’s a strategic investment in a more secure, healthy, and interconnected world that supports American economic and diplomatic interests.
Foreign assistance reduces global instability and protects American lives, jobs, and interests
When we invest in foreign assistance, we extend our values beyond borders, protecting children from conflict, hunger, and poverty. This not only saves lives—it builds global stability that benefits us all.
Investing in kids is not just good policy—it’s a smart investment in America’s future.
By prioritizing early education and child nutrition, you’re building stronger communities, a more prepared workforce, and a healthier nation. Congress must act to ensure these priorities are funded and protected in every budget.
